Quote by Robyn Mundell

“Wish me good luck, please,” I whisper. “On one condition,” Philemone says. “Remember, what you call luck is the meeting of opportunity and flexibility.” I smile, weakly. “Good luck,” she says. “Now go.”

“Naziler, İngilizce konuşulan ülkelerde hiçbir zaman ciddi bir destekle karşılaşmadılar. Yaydıkları öğreti; daha çok orta sınıf entelijansiyası içinde bulunan, kendi ülkesini sevmeyi bırakmış olan, ama yine de vatanseverlik gereksinimi duyduğu için Rusya'ya karşı vatansever hisler geliştiren nadir bir insan tipini çekiyordu.”

“Geçtiğimiz yirmi yıl boyunca, İngiliz solcuları arasında revaçta olan olumsuz, aylak görüş, entelektüellerin vatanseverlik ve fiziksel cesaretle dalga geçmeleri, İngiliz ahlakını yok etme ve hayata karşı hazcı bir "benim ne işime yarar ki" yaklaşımını sürekli yayma çabaları, zarar vermekten başka bir şey yapmadı. Bu insanların hayalini kurduğu yumuşak Milletler Cemiyeti evreninde yaşıyor olsaydık bile zararlı olurdu, ama Führerlerin ve bombardıman uçaklarının çağında bir felaketti. İster hoşumuza gitsin, ister gitmesin, ayakta kalmanın bedeli sıkılık.”

“Dr. Peter Levine, who has worked with trauma survivors for twenty-five years, says the single most important factor he has learned in uncovering the mystery of human trauma is what happens during and after the freezing response. He describes an impala being chased by a cheetah. The second the cheetah pounces on the young impala, the animal goes limp. The impala isn’t playing dead, she has “instinctively entered an altered state of consciousness, shared by all mammals when death appears imminent.” (Levine and Frederick, Waking the Tiger, p. 16) The impala becomes instantly immobile. However, if the impala escapes, what she does immediately thereafter is vitally important. She shakes and quivers every part of her body, clearing the traumatic energy she has accumulated.”

“To switch effectively from defense to social engagement strategies, the nervous system must do two things: (1) assess risk, and (2) if the environment looks safe, inhibit the primitive defensive reactions to fight, flight or freeze.”
